In Cuba June 17, 1942 1 Claim.

My invention relates to the packaging of shaving creams, tooth paste,cosmetics and the like, and has among its objects and advantages theprovision of an improved dispensing container of the noncollapsibletype.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a face view of the container.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional View.

Figure 3 is a sectional view along the line .3--3

Figure 4 is a face view of a turning knob.

Figure 5 is a sectional View, of a group of coacti'ng parts, and

Figure 6 is a perspective view of a plug placing and removing key.

In the embodiment of the invention selected for. illustration, thecontainer I0 comprises a glass or plastic tubular Ibody I2 having an eX-truding neck I4 externally threaded for threaded connection with aclosure cap I6. The contents of the container are extruded through themedium of a glass or plastic piston I8, the latter being threadedlyconnected with a screw 2B positioned concentrically with the body I2.

In the end of the body I2 opposite the neck I4 is threadedly inserted aplug 22 constituting a bottom for the body. This plug is provided with abore 24 inits inner face for reception of a iiange 25 for-med as anintegral part with the screw 20. This flange is provided with an annularand tapered face 28 engaging the correspondingly shaped bottom face 30of the bore 24. The screw 2n is extended beyond the ange 26 to serve asa l mount fora turning knob 32.

The screw en-d 34 extends loosely through the small bore 3B in the plug22, and the end 34 is threaded tightly in the bore 38 in the knob 32 asfar as it will go, with the knob having face engagement with the end ofthe body I2 to restrain the screw from relative axial movement and tohold the face 28' in sealingengagement with the face 30. However, thescrew 20 may easily rotate through the medium of the knob 3.2 forimparting axial movement to the piston I8, as when extrudin-g -materialthrough the neck I4.

In view of the fact that the plug l22 lits flush with the body I2, thisbody is provided with two recesses 40 for the reception lof the pins i2of a key M. These pins are insertable through bores 'A 4B in the knob'32so `that access may be had to the plug 22 notwithstanding the fact thatthe knob overlies the plug. Thus the plug 22 may be easily removed forreplenishing purposes.

Without further elaboration, the foregoing will so fully explain myinvention, that others may,

by applying current knowledge, readily adapt the same for use undervarious conditions of service.

lI claim:

A dispensing device of the character described comprising a tubular bodyhaving an extruding opening at one end and interiorly screw threaded atits opposite end, a screw mounted axially in said body, an annulartapered flange formed on the screw adjacent one end, an exteriorlythreaded plug fitted in the threaded end of the body, saidA plu-g havingan axial bore therethrough loosely receiving thescrew therethrough andan enlarged tapered bore in the inner end in which the tapered flange isrotatably seated, a knob mounted against thev outer end of the body and.plug having a threaded axial bore opening through the inner end andterminating short of the outer end, the bore in the knob threadedlyengaging an end portion of the screw, and a piston fitted for axialsliding movement in the body having an axial through b'ore threadedlyengaging the screw, `the knob being provided with a pair of throughbfores parallel with and spaced from the axial bore and the plug beingprovided with bores opening through the outer end adapted to align withthe pair of bores in the knob for the insertion of a key to position theplug in the body.
